That is because mod_python has special code to check if the module has

That is because you do not use this special check yourself.
You can do:

module = apache.import_module(module_name)

Yes, you can do it again after reloading the module:

foreign_module = apache.import_module("foreign_module")
from foreign_module import my_name
